Premier Jour

After being hesitant about buying Premier Jour for quite some time I finally got it less than a week ago. A small bottle, half-blind buy... And what can I say? I think I'm falling in love! :) This is a fragrance in which I actually do recognise the notes of real flowers which doesn't happen all that often. If I tell you that I wanted to have my bridal bouquet made of sweet peas (didn't get it though, wasn't quite the season anymore), and here - et voilá - here's the wonderful scent of fresh and sweet :) sweet peas au nature then you can understand how much I appreciate the note being emphasised. Wish I had known it just a little while ago, so I could have worn this to replace the missing flower in my bouquet. But that's not it - there's also the gardenia note which is surprisingly (and pleasantly!) creamy. I can only guess it's the vanilla blend which makes it so smooth. Ah, and there's also the sparkling note of mandarin orange - moodlifting and energising. My nose (which sadly is rather sensitive and accepts only mild fragrances these days) is happy with Premier Jour. It's indeed all what's been said by previous reviews - soft, delicate, nice, feminine, happy, clean, beautiful, floral... Cute! :) All in all - I think I have found a new favorite for the coming spring! Plus, I already wish I had ordered the biggest bottle. Ps. And yes, it fades away too fast. :S

Optimism in a bottle. From the name, Premier Jour (first day), to the bottle (one block on top of the other), to the soft peachy color and the bright vibrant scent everything conveys optimism. Premier Jour opens with a glorious, zesty, sweet, mandarin-orange which lights up your face with a smile. I was surprised there were no orange blossoms, but it’s probably the well behaved gardenia from the heart giving this white floral effect. Surprisingly the gardenia doesn’t overpower the delicate cheerful sweet peas, it just lends a creaminess and a mild green edge, but the sweet peas are very distinct which is a good change in a floral designer perfume. The base is sweet, soft and smooth. The overall composition suits a polite, polished pure woman, dressed in white and beige, sleek hair and nude makeup. It’s very versatile on a spring/summer morning; you can wear it to office, to church, in hospital, or school, for a wedding day or to go shopping and it will still seem relevant. Adorable ☺️

I love this perfume. It was always my go-to summer fragrance and I bought replacement bottle after replacement bottle. For some reason, I didn't repurchase after my last bottle ran out. A couple of weeks ago, I felt there was something missing from my fragrance wardrobe and realised - this was it. I wore it again yesterday evening, after a shower, and it is a lovely, fresh, light but creamy floral scent to wear when the weather is hot and humid (as it has been in SE England). The initial spray opens with sweet pea and gardenia, which hang around for quite a while; the woodsy notes underpin the florals, which makes this perfume for me - I don't think I could wear this if the scent was exclusively floral. I can't really detect the vanilla in this at all, although it may be what gives the fragrance its creaminess. I can imagine a summer bride wearing this on her wedding day. It is feminine and somehow virginal. It has a reasonable longevity on my skin 4-5 hours and moderate sillage.

I love this and I am very mature fragrance purchaser. I love the old power smells but recently, I realised I was aging myself so decided to step back and I have to say... this was the perfect step in that direction. The notes are complex. I've already said they remind me of youth, hormones, puberty and spring. There's a lot going on but I also feel like there's a razor edge sharpness that underpins it all. The florals are great but the woody accords is by far the best thing about this fragrance... it seeps out after about 30 mins and leaves a sweetness in the back of your throat, like a drop of wild honey but that white metallica or 'cleanliness' never leaves, turning into linen blowing in the breeze. This is definitely something I wouldn't want to wear on its own unless it was springtime in an airy environment, not the city. Hopefully I can go on a boat ride in a few weeks and see how this smell fairs in the wind xx

Im addicted💕🤍🤍 I always hear about vanilla bombs, musk bombs etc But with premier jour ? Ur gonna experience what i call an airiness BOMB Don’t expect a creamy gardenia orchid Vanilla with a sweetened sweet pea cus it’s not Its a really fresh watery rosy sweet pea with the insanely good fresh petales of gardenia and musk not a sweet or super creamy scent more like a fresh petals of airy florals It has that ginger edge really noticeable idk why is no one mentioning that And the opening is soo watery and fresh like sage water notes and sweet pea then just sweet pea soapy gardenia ginger and musk Absolutely no sweetness or vanilla either Peace and Thursday mornings
